About the firm We are a tech-innovative, AI-focused investment firm operating across multiple geographies, with a strong emphasis on data-driven decision making, alternative assets, and real estate. We combine institutional-grade financial analysis with automation and AI tools to build scalable investment and business operations platforms.

Role overview We are hiring a Capital Markets Officer (CMO) — a buy-side investor who has run money, not advised on it. You will own the firm's quoted portfolio (listed equities, fixed income, and liquid alternatives) and act as the capital markets domain expert for the wider investment team: reading rates, credit, FX, and equity markets and turning that reading into clear, timely signals for allocation decisions across both the liquid book and our private real estate and alternative asset holdings. You will report to the Head of Investments and work closely with the investment team, the Group CFO, and our AI developers so that your market views flow into the firm's models, dashboards, and capital allocation decisions.

Key capital markets responsibilities

Manage the firm's quoted portfolio end to end: mandate and risk limits, asset allocation, security selection, position sizing, execution, and ongoing monitoring against benchmark and absolute return targets.
Own portfolio risk: exposure, concentration, liquidity, drawdown, and correlation across the liquid book and, at total-portfolio level, its interaction with our illiquid real estate and alternative assets.
Monitor global and regional capital markets daily — interest rates, credit spreads, FX, equities, and real estate financing conditions — and maintain a structured, current view of where they are heading.
Produce regular market signalling briefs for the investment committee: what has changed, what it means for the quoted book, the private portfolio, and the pipeline, and what action (if any) it calls for.
Provide market-grounded inputs to capital allocation across the firm: expected returns, discount rates, financing cost and hedging assumptions, and scenario ranges for underwriting models.
Own the cash and liquidity allocation decision between the quoted book and private deal commitments, working with the Group CFO on treasury execution.
Manage currency and rate exposure across entities: hedging policy, rate-fixing decisions, and refinancing windows on our real estate debt, viewed from the owner's side of the table.
Manage relationships with prime brokers, custodians, execution venues, and the sell-side coverage and research providers the firm chooses to use.
Own the capital markets data layer: define which market data feeds the firm should track, maintain the signal and risk definitions, and keep the underlying trackers and sources clean and documented.

Additional responsibilities

Work with our AI developers to automate market monitoring, portfolio reporting, brief generation, and alerting, so routine signalling runs on the AI stack and your time goes to judgement.
Contribute market intelligence to private portfolio reviews, asset business plans, and exit timing decisions.
Provide market views and data inputs to our quant where systematic overlays can add value to the quoted book.
Act as a second owner for treasury and portfolio oversight workflows as part of the firm's key-person backup structure.

Tech and AI expectations

Fluent use of market data and portfolio systems (Bloomberg, Refinitiv/LSEG, FactSet, or equivalent; a PMS/OMS such as Enfusion, Charles River, or similar) and comfortable pulling and structuring data from them programmatically or via exports.
Practical daily use of LLMs: summarising central bank communications, earnings, and research, drafting briefs, structuring messy market data, and building spreadsheet and model logic.
Strong Excel and working familiarity with Python or similar for data handling; you do not need to be a developer, but you must be able to specify what you want built and validate what comes back.
Comfort in a cloud-first stack — Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, Slack, and a task tool such as Airtable, Trello, or Asana.
Genuine curiosity about automation and a bias towards turning repeat analysis into monitored, always-on signals.

Requirements

Purely buy-side background: 7–12 years at an asset manager, hedge fund, family office, multi-family office, pension or sovereign fund, endowment, or proprietary investment firm. Candidates whose experience is primarily sell-side (investment banking, brokerage, research, or advisory) will not be considered, even with recent buy-side moves.
Direct responsibility for a quoted portfolio — you have made allocation and security-level decisions with your own name on the P&L, and can show an audited or verifiable track record across at least one full market cycle.
Multi-asset breadth: hands-on experience across listed equities and fixed income, with credit, FX, and liquid alternatives exposure; familiarity with how liquid markets interact with private real estate and alternative asset holdings at total-portfolio level.
Deep understanding of rates, credit, and FX markets and how they transmit into asset pricing, financing terms, and portfolio risk.
Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, mathematics, or a related discipline
Based in Dublin; primarily office-based.
Appetite for international travel — around 25% of the year visiting our entities, assets, and partners abroad.
Clear, concise written and verbal English; able to compress a complex market picture into a one-page brief.
Sound judgement under uncertainty, intellectual honesty about what you know versus what you are inferring, and the discipline to size positions and cut losers accordingly.
High integrity and discretion — you will handle confidential portfolio, deal, and investor information.

Compensation and benefits

Base salary: dependent on experience.
Discretionary performance bonus based on portfolio performance, individual contribution, and firm outcomes.
Ownership of a live quoted portfolio and a seat at the centre of the firm's investment decisions, working directly with the investment team, Group CFO, and the AI build programme.
International exposure to assets, investors, and partners across our markets.
Practical experience building AI-driven market intelligence and modern investment workflows.
